Francis Russell (Frank) O'Hara (June 27, 1926 - July 25, 1966) was a United States poet who, along with writers like John Ashbery and Kenneth Koch, was a key member of what was known as the New York School.
Frank O'Hara, the son of Russell Joseph O'Hara and Katherine Broderick, was born in Baltimore, grew up in Massachusetts and moved to New York City in 1951.
His work was immediate and were often quickly typed out. (One collection, Lunch Poems was so named because he typed them up on his lunch hour.) Low and high cultural references mingle easily in his work, with an often dreamlike lyricism. His most anthologized poems are "Why I Am Not a Painter" and "The Day Lady Died," the latter about Billie Holiday.
O'Hara was active in the art world, working as a reviewer for Art News and as a curator for the Museum of Modern Art. He was friends with a number of prominent artists like Willem de Kooning, Larry Rivers and Bill Berkson.
O'Hara died in a freak accident on Fire Island. He was run over by a dune buggy while sleeping on the beach.
The poems are by default sorted according to volume, but you can also choose to sort them alphabetically or by page views.

SUMTER, S.C. – All winning streaks have to come to an end at some point, and the King University men's tennis team saw their 10-match winning streak end on Saturday afternoon in the Conference Carolinas Tournament Semifinals. The second seeded Tornado fell to sixth seeded Barton College by the narrowest of margins, 5-4 to end their season.
King (14-8) started the dual off well, taking two of the three doubles matches. The No. 1 doubles team of Rodrigo Avila and Leo Brigato defeated Jake McCartney Rafael Ruiz 8-5 while Pablo Vidal and Luis Delgado were victorious over Jorger Pradilla and Yaxi Pintando 8-6. Barton (14-6) salvaged the No. 3 doubles match by the score of 8-5.
In singles play, Brigato took a 6-3, 6-4 win over Nick Genest at No. 4 singles, and Moritz Poswiat defeated Pradilla 6-3, 6-3 at No. 5 singles to bring King within a win of the tournament finals. However, the Tornado couldn't get that illusive fifth victory as the Bulldogs took three three-set matches to take dual. At No. 2 singles, Barton's Rafael Ruiz took a tight 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 win, and at the third flight, Max Leppert topped Delgado 6-2, 2-6, 6-1 to give the Bulldogs the victory.
The loss snaps King's 10-match winning streak and ends their season with a 14-8 record. The Tornado advanced to the Conference Carolinas Tournament Semifinals for the first time in school history.

An Apostle Teaches About The Power Of Prayer
This is a beautiful video, that was inspired by a conference address, that Elder Bednar presented. His talk is entitled "Pray Always".
"Simply stated, prayer is communication to Heavenly Father from His sons and daughters on earth. "As soon as we learn the true relationship in which we stand toward God (namely, God is our Father, and we are his children), then at once prayer becomes natural and instinctive on our part" (Bible Dictionary, "Prayer," 752).
We are commanded to pray always to the Father in the name of the Son (see 3 Nephi 18:19–20). We are promised that if we pray sincerely for that which is right and good and in accordance with God's will, we can be blessed, protected, and directed (see 3 Nephi 18:20; D&C 19:38).
Revelation is communication from Heavenly Father to His children on earth. As we ask in faith, we can receive revelation upon revelation and knowledge upon knowledge and come to know the mysteries and peaceable things that bring joy and eternal life (see D&C 42:61). The mysteries are those matters that can only be known and understood by the power of the Holy Ghost (see Harold B. Lee, Ye Are the Light of the World [1974], 211)."
My dear friend, In The Doghouse, has also posted some wonderful counsel that we all received in the Murrieta California Stake, from Elder Bednar personally. Immediately following Elder Bednar's call to The Twelve Apostles, our Stake was his first assignment. The Murrieta, Stake has a very tender spot in our hearts for this particular Apostle of the Lord, Elder David Bednar.

Watch the Downton Abbey Season Four Trailer
See the house members dance, cry, dinner, laugh, and live.
While critics were able to sneak a peek at Downton Abbey's fourth season during TCA, there's now a trailer for all of us to enjoy. The just-released video opens with Mary mourning the death of Cousin Matthew, but soon spins into a whirlwind of dancing, laughing, crying, kissing, tea-drinking, and general dinner-having over the sounds of Joy Formidable's "Wolf's Law." Does the song mean Edith's modernity will rub off on the rest of the house? Will this really be her year? What will happen with Mary's future suitors? And just who is the new nanny? There are so many questions ahead of the January 5 premiere (including "When do we get to see Paul Giamatti?") and nothing to do but watch this preview several dozen times.

Federal mediators enter stalemated labor talks
WASHINGTON Federal mediators are entering the stalled NHL labor talks, which have led to the first 2½ months of the regular season being canceled.
George H. Cohen, director of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, said Monday he had assigned three mediators to assist in negotiations to end the lockout.
Cohen said the parties have agreed to use the assistance of the FMCS and that deputy director Scot L. Beckenbaugh, director of mediation services John Sweeney and Commissioner Guy Serota will join the talks.
The sides have not negotiated since last Wednesday.
The NHL has canceled more than 34 percent of its regular season, including all games through Dec. 14, the New Years Day outdoor Winter Classic and the All-Star weekend scheduled for Jan. 26-27 at Columbus, Ohio.
Sunday night flex schedule matchups set by league
NEW YORK The Detroit Lions game at the Green Bay Packers will remain on Sunday night Dec. 9, as will the 49ers-Patriots showdown the next week.
The NFL announced its flexible scheduling decisions Monday.
Starting in Week 11, the league can move a more appealing matchup into prime time on NBC if need be. It has yet to do so this season.
The game between San Francisco and New England on Dec. 16 is so attractive the NFL announced a week early that it would be staying put.
The 49ers are 8-2-1, while the Patriots are 8-3.
While the Lions are just 4-7, the Packers are always a big TV draw and are in the thick of playoff contention.
Lindley to start until Kolb ready to play again
TEMPE, Ariz. The Arizona Cardinals are sticking with Ryan Lindley at quarterback, at least until Kevin Kolb is healthy enough to play.
Coach Ken Whisenhunt says that while Lindley had three bad throws that resulted in interceptions, two of them returned for touchdowns, in his first NFL start on Sunday, the rookie did have other times when he was effective in Sundays loss to the St. Louis Rams.
Hell start this week ahead of the ineffective John Skelton.
For the first time since he was hurt five games ago, Kolb was able to practice on a limited basis last week.

Phillies Sign Dontrelle Willis
Per Jim Salisbury and Jerry Crasnick, the Phillies have signed left-handed pitcher Dontrelle Willis to a one year contract for "about $1 million and performance bonuses."
After a few up and down seasons with the Marlins, Willis was traded to the Tigers as part of the Miguel Cabrera deal, and suffered a near complete collapse, stumbling around the Detroit and San Francisco minor league affiliates. Finally settling in with the Reds last season, Willis had another rough year, albeit one that may have looked worse than it really was. He brought his walk rate down to a somewhat acceptable 11.1%, and was able to induce groundballs at about a 55% clip, posting a SIERA of 4.29.
More importantly for the Phillies, who will have a newly-tendered Kyle Kendrick competing with Joe Blanton for the fifth spot in the starting rotation, Willis shows some indications of being an effective left-handed specialist. He has a 2.88 career xFIP versus left-handed hitters, and last year, in an admittedly small 60 hitter sample, struck them out at a 33.3% rate. The image below shows Willis' pitch placement to left-handed hitting since 2009, and his groundball rate for the same scope. When Willis manages to stay away from the inside of the plate against lefties he keeps the ball on the ground successfully. Over the 191 plate appearances represented in this image, lefties managed just a .276 wOBA against Willis.
Of course, this is all predicated on Willis actually being used in this way. It's tough to forget J.C. Romero, ostensibly the left-handed specialist, being brought to the mound to face 256 right-handed batters between 2008 and 2010, with results at once infuriating and comedic. Charlie Manuel's bullpen management, insofar as any coherent strategy can be deciphered, appears to be a mix of innings-based decisions and traditional closer values, so if the D-train is left in for, say, an entire 6th or 7th inning, the likelihood that he'll face right-handed hitting washes away any value he has to offer to the Phillies' pen.
As it is, though, at around $1 million, Willis is a bargain flier for the Phillies, with the chance to effectively supplement a bullpen comprised of Jonathan Papelbon, Jose Contreras, and a group of young arms.

Streak goes to three for Favorite Announcer
OKLAHOMA CITY — Favorite Announcer launched from the Remington Park starting gate Thursday night in his $36,800 allowance race for Oklahoma-breds, seized the lead, and never looked back. The speedy 3-year-old drew clear to win the 1 mile-70 yard race by an easy five lengths to post his third straight victory this season.Owned by Danny Caldwell of Poteau and trained by Federico Villafranco, Favorite Announcer was ridden with confidence by Jose Medina. After leading the field through the second turn, Medina let Favorite Announcer go and the gelding opened up a wide margin on his competitors, leading by as many as six lengths in the stretch. Crossing the finish with plenty of energy in reserve, Favorite Announcer stopped the clock in 1:42.77 over the fast track.

Strip the paragraphs with a strong topic and concluding sentence (Day 1 of 2)
Lesson 1 of 5
Objective: SWBAT write a topic and concluding sentence to support a expository paragraph.
- Informational text at the 2nd grade level – I used Houghton Mifflin SS Unit 5 - You could use text from any topic, just make sure the kids are familiar with the topic**
- Sentence strips – 2 for each group and 4 for the teacher
- Lesson vocabulary words from the Reading/Writing word wall: main idea, key details, topic sentence, concluding sentence, informational text
- Here's the whiteboard set up I wrote 2 paragraphs about our topic from the text, but took off the topic and concluding sentence.
- Informational books from your room with a variety of common topic sentences - Find some with a variety and mark the pages - See the common topic sentence starters in Teacher's Turn
- A chart paper to create the 'Key Words' chart
- One chart paper for each group with an informational text paragraph (no topic or concluding sentence) - I used ideas from our topic and again left off an introductory and concluding paragraph
** I chose to use the history text because I want the student to get a cross-curriculum experience. Instead of reading a an informational text unrelated to the Social Studies/Science topic, I choose to read about what we are currently learning. The Common Core standards represent a shift in writing about informational topics, including introducing a topic, using facts to develop points, and providing a concluding sentence (W.2.2) This lesson is an important step towards supporting students in understanding how to write informative/explanatory texts to examine and convey complex ideas and information clearly and accurately. Second grade students can usually write a paragraph with details, but often struggle with a succinct related introductory and concluding paragraph.
When writing about an informational topic that you are studying, make sure the students are really FAMILIAR with the topic. When they are learning new writing skills, they need to be secure with the information they are writing about.

Let's Get Excited!
Underlined words below are lesson vocabulary words that are emphasized and written on sentence strips for my Reading & Writing word wall. I pull off the words off the wall for each lesson, helping students understand this key 'reading and writing' vocabulary can be generalized across texts and topics. The focus on acquiring and using these words is part of a shift in the Common Core Standards towards building students' academic vocabulary. My words are color coded 'pink' for literature/'blue' for reading strategies/'orange' for informational text/'yellow' for writing/'green' for all other words)
Common starting point
- "Today we'll do some research and writing about early America. Let's look at our Social Studies book or other text with the topic you're writing about – what have we been reading about?"
- "You know A LOT about the Pilgrims and Native Americans. We've talked about Jamestown and Plymouth as well as the King of England."
- "Today we're going to write an introductory sentence and concluding sentence to show the main idea** in a paragraph about those topics."
Get students engaged
- Show the video about main idea
- Show it again and pause when they highlight each part of the paragraph - it's a great visual for the kids!
**I've written several lessons about finding the main idea in a paragraph so my students are VERY comfortable with this. Check out these lessons - they are Frame the Story with Informational Text and A Feast of Summaries.

Teacher's Turn
Give the purpose of the lesson
- "You've learned how to choose the main idea of a paragraph or story by finding repeated key details."
- "Today we'll find some key words and make a sentence with the main idea. Those sentences will be the introductory sentence and concluding sentence that we add to a paragraph."
Find the key words
- Read the paragraph on the board (without the topic and concluding sentences)- "Does it sound right? - No - I don't know what it's about because it is not introduced and it has no end."
- "A good paragraph has a topic sentence that introduces the main idea and a good concluding sentence that wraps it up. These sentences have the main idea with some 'key' words."
We need to teach students to understand that topic/concluding sentences usually have those keywords, but also teach them the underlying reason that these sentences contain words like that. We don't want students to rely on these words alone because they won't truly understand the purpose of the topic/concluding sentence and they won't be able to identify these sentences if they don't contain those words.
- "Let's make a list of some words that topic sentence and concluding sentences have in our books." Pass out the informational texts and have students look for words used in topic and concluding sentences from books in your room. Here's a picture of some of my students looking for topic sentence words.
- "What words introduce or conclude the topics in these books?" Make a list. Here's the Topic & Concluding Sentence chart that we created. We'll be using this in future lessons. I did suggest a few words that weren't in any books.
Guided practice with the strategy
- "Let's take a look at our first paragraph - it's about something we've studied" - read it
- "What's the main idea?" Here's an example of how we find repeating words and discriminate important repeating words to find the main idea.
- "Use the repeating words to pick the main idea and write them on the line above the arrow. Let's make a topic sentence using a word from our 'key words list' and the main idea." Write it on the sentence strip and magnet above the paragraph. Here's the teachers' example of paragraph 1
- "The concluding sentence restates the topic sentence - can we use a different word from the list?" Write it on the sentence strip and magnet below the paragraph.
- "Let's try that again with the other paragraph." See the teacher example of paragraph 2.

- Assign paragraphs to the students or groups
- If you are working in groups, go over rules for group work Here's the group rules poster that my class created at the beginning of the year.
Assign task
- Pass out the paragraphs for the groups.
- Read the details and find the main topic - the repeating words. This is how I prompted a student to use repeated words to make a topic sentence.
Students Demonstrate the strategy
- Choose a word from our list and make good topic sentence. Write it on the sentence strip. Here's a video of a student starting the topic sentence. Remind students to use good language in the sentences and check spelling words that are in the text.
- If there is only one repeating word, students can use details to identify a topic sentence with one word main idea.
- Choose another word and rewrite the topic sentence to make a concluding sentence. Write and glue that on the sentence strip. I reminded kids to switch the wording for concluding sentence.
- Glue both on the chart paper. Here's a video of one of my students cutting and making the strips.

Share What You've Learned
Share what you know
- Groups share their paragraph This is a video of one of my student explaining the project to me.
- Here are 2 examples of my kids' projects - student project 1 and student project 2.
- Give feedback - that's a great introductory sentence - now I know what you're writing about! Wow that concluding sentence is very clear - it really wraps up the paragraph.
Scaffolding and Special Education: This lesson could be easily scaffolded up or down, depending on student ability.
Group work will allow the challenged and above level students on a more even playing field. As students work in groups, they share ideas. Regardless of the level of academic ability, everyone has something to contribute. If your students are good at group work (with teacher prompting and lots of practice) all will benefit from discussion and collaboration. If groups are not a possibility, then walk around and help students individually, like I did in this video when I was helping a language delayed student.
The reason I love doing this sharing is that we are reviewing our Social Studies while doing reading - Great activity and review!!

Two former Sarasota commission candidates who did not make the May 14 runoff election endorsed Suzanne Atwell and Richard Dorfman for the spots.
On Tuesday, Linda Holland and Kelvin Lumpkin, who are a Democrat and Republican, respectively, held a news conference to announce their support for Atwell and Dorfman, also a Democrat and Republican.
"They're in harmony with how I believe this city ought to grow," said Holland, who has run for a commission position and lost three times.
Susan Chapman, Atwell and Dorfman received the most votes in the six-person election earlier this month. That allowed the three to continue campaigning, and voters will return to the polls in a month and a half to pick the winners of the two open at-large seats.
Holland and Lumpkin said their bipartisan endorsement of Atwell and Dorfman, who they called a "team," is not intended to jilt Chapman — who got the most votes in the first election.
"Some may see this as a move against somebody," Lumpkin acknowledged. "We can't worry about that when it comes to our city's future."
The two candidates who received the endorsement said it is very meaningful to their campaign and helps keep the election in the public eye.
The candidates are trying to increase voter turnout, which Lumpkin called "abysmal."
A little more than 17 percent of the city's registered voters, 6,153 people, turned out to vote.
Of those, nearly 14 percent voted for Holland and 13 percent for Lumpkin.
Atwell said Sarasota is not "the sleepy little town where everyone votes," and officials need to add municipal elections to the November ballot, when voter turnout represents a broader swath of the electorate.
For now, the candidates and their endorsers said they will work hard to encourage voters to show up at the polls.
NEW: Former foes endorse Atwell, Dorfman in Sarasota
Two former Sarasota commission candidates who did not make the May 14 runoff election endorsed Suzanne Atwell and Richard Dorfman for the spots.

Wildcats Win Season Opener 3-2 Against Rutland
Great weather, great fields, great fans and a fantastic soccer game. The U14 Wildcat team coached by Jen and Eric Daigle and Chris Goulet took to the field against Summit FC U-14 Girls' White team from Rutland These two teams were equal in skill, ability and determination. The Wildcats struck first. Olivia Miller, with an assist from Faith Gosselin, shot one past the goalie to put the Wildcats on the score board. After the goal the play went back and forth, staying around mid-field for a large part of the first half. The Wildcats did keep control of the game for most of the first half, goalie Sarah Bilodeau didn't see much action because of her protective defense and a determined offensive line keeping the ball in Summit's half. Roughly 15 minutes after knocking in her first goal, Olivia Miller, with an assist this time from Dasha Plotnikov, struck again for her second tally of the game. The score stayed 2-0 Wildcats at halftime.The second half proved to be a bit more of a struggle for the home town team. Summit came off the bench on fire and was not ready to hand the game over to the Wildcats. Summit dribbled, passed and out shot the Wildcats in the second half. Derby goalie Brooke Breault got a fierce workout from Summit and she did her team proud. Brooke kept the Wildcats in the game. Summit was able to score twice in the second half, but after a dangerous play in front of the Summit goal, Amy DeLaBruere was awarded a direct kick and she hit the bulls eye, scoring the winning goal of the game. The Wildcats will travel to Middlebury next Friday to square off against the Middlebury Panthers U-14 team. They are back on home turf on Sunday the 13th at 4:30pm

Five Acupuncture Points for Winter
Winter is a word that conjures up many different images, including snowmen, sleigh rides and holidays. During the winter months, nature is resting and replenishing itself for the upcoming spring. And as we are part of nature, we should also be focusing on rest and relaxation.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) teaches that we should live in harmony with the seasons. When we don't, that's when disease and illness occur. Living in harmony with the season of winter means we should avoid eating excessively cold or raw foods, we should focus our attention inward and we should make time to relax and rejuvenate our bodies.
Winter is associated with the element of water, the kidneys and the urinary bladder. The kidney energetic pathway opens to the ears and therefore, they should be protected from the cold that occurs during the winter months. Every major organ in the body is also assigned an energetic pathway in TCM theory. These pathways allow energy or Qi (pronounced "chee") to flow throughout the body, which keeps everything functioning properly. When the Qi becomes deficient, stagnant or blocked, then disease can develop. During the season of winter, this may manifest as ear aches, low back pain, knee pain, urinary issues, anxiety or fatigue.
To keep the kidney and urinary bladder functioning properly within the TCM system, things like acupuncture, herbal formulas, nutritional counseling and practices like qi gong or tai chi may need to be incorporated. There are over 350 acupuncture points on the body, but there are some that work exceptionally well during the winter season to help keep the body free from disease.
KIDNEY 3 – This point is located bilaterally on the inner lower leg, in the depression just behind the medial malleolus. Kidney 3 is a very important point that can help with everything from low back pain to ear aches.
SPLEEN 6 – This point is located bilaterally on the inner lower leg, about three thumb-breadths above the inner malleolus. Spleen 6 can help improve immune system function and fight fatigue.
LIVER 3 – This point is located bilaterally on the top of the foot, in the depression about one thumb-breadth from the edge of the webbing between the first and second toes. This point can be used to decrease headaches and help with some urinary issues.
STOMACH 36 – Located bilaterally on the outer lower leg, it can be found one finger-breadth from the border of the upper tibia and about three thumb-breadths below the lower border of the knee cap. Stomach 36 is known as the longevity point in TCM and is frequently used by practitioners. It can help with fatigue, dizziness and knee pain.
URINARY BLADDER 23 – Located bilaterally, on either side of the spine, it can be found one and a half thumb-breadths from the lower border of the second lumbar vertebra. Urinary Bladder 23 is another frequently used point that helps with deafness, dizziness, knee pain, low back pain and urinary issues.
Any of these points can be used alone or in conjunction with others. They can be manually stimulated using pressure from a finger or dull, rounded tool. But for best effects, it is recommended acupuncture be applied.
Fight Holiday Stress with Acupuncture
The holidays are supposed to be a time of joy, celebration and love. But for many, the holidays mean added stress, anxiety and lack of sleep. Some polls show Americans spend an average of 42 hours annually on holiday activities. This could be anything from shopping to traveling to preparing food. And all of that adds up to extra stress that deteriorates the body and mind. Mental and physical stress then translates into oxidative stress at the cellular level. Oxidative stress, over time, can actually lead to disease.
The good news is there are many ways to deal with and handle added holiday stress. One of these ways is through the use of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). This medical system has been around for nearly 3,500 years and can greatly improve our quality of life. TCM is a holistic and natural way to combat anxiety and stress. Acupuncture is one of the modalities this medical system utilizes. Acupuncture has the ability to induce deep relaxation throughout the mind, body and soul. In fact, many people report falling asleep during their acupuncture treatments.
Numerous studies have been done to show how acupuncture can decrease stress. A study at Yale University showed auricular, or ear acupuncture, significantly lowered stress levels in mothers whose children were undergoing surgery. Multiple studies also confirm acupuncture can lower both systolic and diastolic blood pressure readings. And blood pressure is one of the first physical signs a person is stressed out.
In TCM, each season is associated with an element. Winter is associated with the element of water. Starting every day during the holidays/winter season with a large glass of room temperature water can not only keep the body hydrated, but it can also prevent added stress at the cellular level. From a metaphorical stance, water is calming to the mind and body. So when we feel that twinge of anxiety coming on, visualizing water, like an ocean or a lake, can actually help decrease the stress levels.
As mentioned above, chronic stress can lead to oxidative stress at the cellular level. Chronic pain sufferers can attest to how stress affects their bodies. For many people who deal with diseases like fibromyalgia, the excess stress around the holidays can actually increase the amount of pain in the body. Regular acupuncture treatments, even during the holidays can be very beneficial for those who have chronic health and pain issues. Acupuncture can reduce inflammation and relieve pain in as few as one to two treatments.
Another helpful tip to deal with holiday stress, is to get out in nature. Yes, it can be cold during the holiday season. However, studies show spending even as little as five minutes outside among nature can lower blood pressure and decrease stress. And what better way to admire the beautiful lights and decorations that frequent so many neighborhoods during this time of year, than to step outside for a breath of fresh air or a quick walk around the block?
Acupuncture is also a wonderful tool to combat Acupuncture is also a wonderful tool to combat insomnia that can frequently wreak havoc around the holidays. Traveling, packing and multiple holiday events can really interfere with getting a good night's sleep. Acupuncture can definitely help with that. Because it is so relaxing, many people take healing power naps when they are receiving their acupuncture treatments.
Before the holiday season kicks in, contact a locally licensed acupuncturist to discuss how they can help you deal with stress and anxiety. You'll be glad you did.
Acupuncture and the Season of Winter
Winter is just one of the five seasons acknowledged by Traditional Chinese Medicine. The ancient Chinese followed the belief humans should live in harmony with the cycles of nature. During the winter months, the darkness and cold indicate we should slow down, take care of our health, conserve our strength and replenish our energy for the upcoming spring and summer months. This is observed in the animal kingdom and it should also be considered a good rule of thumb for human beings.
Each season has multiple associations that help us adjust our habits as things change, which makes it easier to keep the body and mind balanced. Winter is ruled by the water element. The water element is associated with the kidneys and urinary bladder. According to TCM philosophy, the kidneys are the source of all energy found within the body. This energy, frequently called Qi (pronounced "chee"), is what keeps us alive and allows our bodies to function properly. During the winter months, it is vital that we nourish and nurture our kidney Qi.
Winter is typically a time when we decrease our daily activities. Because of this, we should also decrease the amount of food we eat to avoid gaining excess weight. It is also recommended excessively cold and raw foods be avoided or at least countered with things like hot tea. Cold and raw foods can deplete the Qii over time. This can lead to problems with digestion, sleep and much more.
It is suggested during the winter months, we should emphasize foods warming to the body. This includes things like soups, stews, root vegetables, beans, garlic and ginger. Also foods like whole grains and roasted nuts can help keep the body's core warm, while providing healthy nourishment.
Aside from eating according to the seasons, there are also other things we can do to keep ourselves in tune with our environment, which will ultimately keep us healthy. TCM is a non-invasive way to build the Qi and keep the body functioning properly throughout the winter, as well as the other seasons.
TCM incorporates quite a few different modalities. Acupuncture is probably the most commonly known of these modalities and it is a wonderful tool for boosting and replenishing kidney Qi. Moxibustion is another TCM modality that involves burning crushed mugwort on acupressure points to help increase the core body temperature and keep blood circulating throughout all parts of the body.
There is also another form of Qi known as Wei Qi (pronounced "way chee") that is frequently compared to our immune system. Regular acupuncture treatments, proper sleep, a healthy diet and exercise are all ways to keep the Wei Qi strong.
One of the most important things anybody can do during the winter months to stay healthy is drink plenty of water. Winter, in most places, literally drains the moisture out of the body. It is recommended that we drink at least 64 ounces of water per day, even during the winter months. However, the thought of drinking cold water in cold weather is a concept that tends to keep a lot of people clinically dehydrated during the winter months. This is why warm water with lemon or hot tea are good substitutes. We are still ingesting water, while avoiding the cold that could potentially damage our core.
By following the guidelines set forth by nature, we can also remain in balance with the natural world around us. This is how our ancestors did it and it served them quite well. Perhaps there is something to be learned from the wisdom our elders pass down through the generations, aside from just some intriguing tales.

It's only once every six months or so, maybe even once a year, that we see a really great app break into the mainstream. Much like Instagram, Vine has done just that. Everyone from comedians to electronic music super-duos (I'm looking at you, Daft Punk), have adopted the 6-second video service in a big way. And also much like Instagram, Vine in all of its massive popularity, didn't start out with an Android app. According to the developers behind Vine, that will be changing soon.
In an interview with The Verge, it was mentioned that Vine for Android is being actively worked on, and is coming "soon." For those of who have been intrigued by the app, but not enough to dump Android for it, this is great news.
Large companies glazing over Android, and releasing as iOS only at first, has proven to be a relatively smart move. While some would argue the fact that half of Instagram's users are now on Android means the company missed out in the beginning, some might argue the exact opposite. Launching on iOS only gave the team behind Instagram the option to support a small amount of handsets, and hone their product before expanding overnight to double the user base. And you can't forget that even though Instagram launched initially just for iOS, Android users still gobbled it up when it was released.
It's highly unlikely that in the end, Instagram missed out on anything by not supporting Android out of the gate. Someday that won't be the case, but for now, Vine is in the same situation. The fact does remain that even now, if you do ignore Android, you ignore a huge amount of the market, but expanding to more platforms responsibly is best for everyone. If Vine for Android really does release soon, it looks like Vine may have found the sweet spot with a paced rollout that doesn't put strain on its developers or the service itself.

Sadie (Brittany) and Maggie (Aussie) so love to ride in the car with my wife and I. Because we're cheap and drive old, old vehicles, we never gave a thought to the effect of the dirt, paw prints and hair on the car. Until last month, that is. We got a new car with beautiful leather upholstery. So we set out to find covers. We were shocked with the price (Remember? we're cheap). But in an impulsive moment, the order was placed and the cover was received a week later. The installation was easy and quick. I'm very impressed with the perfect fit and several design details that secure the cover from shifting or drooping. The cover is attractive and functional. It costs a lot, but you do get what you pay for. I love it.

I'm currently using an embed tag and mp3 files. In all browser except Chrome I can specify how large the media player is as well. In Chrome it looks to require a larger area - viewing page element shows that Chrome has inserted a video tag inside the embed tag I had on the page for the mp3s. Why is that? Is there a way around it? I was able to resize the media players to be somewhat small on all the browsers except Chrome, the smaller area pushes the player up and half out of sight in the display area.

The High Line's planting design is inspired by the self-seeded landscape that grew up between rail tracks after the trains stopped running in the 1980s. Today, the High Line includes more than 300 species of perennials, grasses, shrubs, and trees — each chosen for their hardiness, adaptability, diversity, and seasonal variation in color and texture. Some of the species that originally grew on the High Line's rail bed are reflected in the park landscape today.
This week we share with you one of our gardeners' current favorites.
Broadleaf ironweed, Vernonia glauca, is native to the southeastern United States, from Mississippi through New Jersey. You will find this plant in a variety of habitats, from prairies to marshes and moist ditches. This time of year it produces deep purple blooms that turn to fluffy golden seed heads.
This plant gets its common name, ironweed, from the rigidity of its stems that have the strength to stand upright through the winter, while its scientific genus name, Vernonia is a nod to English botanist William Vernon who did extensive field work in North America. The genus contains about 1,000 species, most of which are found in South America, Africa, and Asia, where some are used for medicinal purposes.
On the High Line near West 17th Street

I installed these on my 1994 Lincoln Continental. I was not expecting any difference in stopping due to the size of the vehicle. Turns out with just a simple turning of the rotors, these pads are like velcro on the rotors. Just a light peddle drag will cause the the car rapidly lose momentum. I almost have to late brake everywhere so i dont have to let off the brakes before i come to a stop. These pads are great, i highly recommend them!!!

This month we feature two selections.
Prophets In Their Own Country is an historical and theological overview of the relationship between America's women religious and the Vatican, after Rome's investigation of various communities/congregations. (Some of the chapters originated as part of a series published in the National Catholic Reporter.) The author is emerita professor of New Testament Studies and Christian Spirituality at the Jesuit School of Theology/Graduate Theological Union, Berkeley, Calif. She is to be commended for the scholarship that imbues her study of "ministerial" or "apostolic" religious life, on biblical revelation and on how religious life is a prophetic life form in the church. In a forthcoming review of the book for America Marie Anne Mayeski writes, in part: "In both its method and its content, what this short book affirms about ministerial religious life is also important for ecclesiology." And she rightly commends "the breadth of service" and "the ardor" of Catholic sisters throughout history.
Purchase Prophets in Their Own Country from amazon.com.
Joan Didion is the author of five novels and eight works of nonfiction including the bestselling memoir The Year of Magical Thinking. In her latest memoir, Blue Nights, Joan Didion reflects on matters of aging, failing health and death following the passing of her daughter of at age 39, after years of illness. Though not a light subject, admittedly, the book is at once moving and candid; and we believe many of our readers will resonate with the author's iinsights and lived experience. She chose the title "Blue Nights," she explains, "because at the time I began it I found my mind turning increasingly to…the end of promise…the dwindling of the days." Readers who likewise ponder the big questions of creation will be in good company with Didion.
Purchase Blue Nights from amazon.com.

Veteran board member Kim Gouker, Byron, was elected Ogle County Board chairman Monday night by the newly-seated county board.
Gouker, who has served on the county board for approximately 14 years, won the position by a narrow two-vote margin, 13 -11, a few minutes after the 24-member board was sworn in by Judge Robert Hanson.
Another board veteran, Lyle Hopkins, Polo, was also nominated for chairman, but that vote ended in a 12-12 tie.
Hopkins, who has served on the board for more than a decade, was nominated first and therefore voted on first. Gouker was elected in a subsequent motion.
Board member Don Griffin, Oregon, cast the deciding vote, saying yes to both nominations.
After taking his seat at the head of the county board table, Gouker thanked those who voted for him and promised that his first course of action as chairman will be to meet with the board members who voted against him.
"I want to find out why and how we can work together," he said.
Hopkins said he had mixed emotions about the outcome of the election, but plans to work with Gouker.
"We're here for the good of the county, not for ourselves," he said.
John Finfrock, Mt. Morris, was elected vice chairman by a vote of 17-7. Current vice chairman Marcia Heuer, Oregon, lost her bid for a second term in the post.
Due to reapportionment, an entirely new board was elected Nov. 6. Based on data collected in the 2010 census, the county is now divided in 8 districts instead of 4. Each new district is represented by three board members.
After being seated, board members drew pieces of paper to determine the length of the terms for their seats on the board.
Reapportionment occurs every 10 years.
County clerk Rebecca Huntley presided over the meeting until the new chairman was elected and explained how the terms will be configured to allow for a portion of the board to be elected every two years.
Over the 10-year period until the next reapportionment in 2022, some of the terms will be 2 years long and the remainder will be 4 years.
One third of the seats — one from each of the 8 districts — will consist of a 2-year term followed by two 4-year terms.
Another third of the seats will consist of two 4-year terms followed by a 2-year term.
The last third of the seats will consist of a 4-year term, a two-year term, and a 4-year term.
Board members who drew the 2-4-4 configuration included Kimberly Kirkolis, District 1; Patricia Nordman, District 2; Bobbie Colbert, District 3; Bruce McKinney, District 4; Dan Janes, District 5; Lee Meyers, District 6; Rich Gronewold, District 7; and Hopkins, District 8.
Those who drew the 4-4-2 configuration are Dick Petrizzo, District 1; Bill Welty, District 2; Ashley Simms, District 3; John Kenney, District 4; Marty Typer, District 5; Dorothy Bowers, District 6; Finfrock, District 7; and Heuer, District 8.
Those who drew the 4-2-4 configuration are Zachary Oltmanns, District 1; Jerry Brooks, District 2; Greg Sparrow, District 3; John O'Brien, District 4; Griffin, District 5; Gouker, District 6; Ron Colson, District 7; and Pat Saunders, District 8.
The new county board districts are as follows:
• District 1 — Dement, Lynnville, Monroe, and Scott Townships;
• District 2 — White Rock, Pine Rock, Lafayette, and Oregon-Nashua Townships;
• District 3 — Flagg Township, Precincts 1, 2, 3, 6, and 7;
• District 4 — Flagg Township, Precincts 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, and 11;
• District 5 — Marion, Rockvale, and Leaf River Townships;
• District 6 — Byron Township;
• District 7 — Maryland, Mt. Morris, and Forreston Townships;
• District 8 — Brookville, Lincoln, Eagle Point, Buffalo, Pine Creek, Woosung, Grand Detour, and Taylor Townships.

New South Wales Government Gazette 1850New South Wales Government Gazette 1850. 1850. Government Gazettes contain a vast amount of historical and genealogical information. However they are largely an untapped resource. The few complete runs that are available are usually only found in major libraries. And even for researchers who do have access to these the sheer size and extent of the Gazettes is daunting.
Now that is all changing - with the publication of the gazettes on affordable and searchable form on CD-ROM.
Tens of thousands of ordinary people and localities, small and large, are mentioned EVERY YEAR in Government Gazettes. But they offer researchers much more than simply names and places. They will help you reconstruct events and circumstances in the life of individuals and communities.
"I'm totally in awe of the potential of the Government Gazette project ... the accessibility, ease of use ... having done the hard slog through many original volumes" - Greg Slattery, South Australian historian.
The Archive CD Books Project exists to make reproductions of old books, documents and maps available on CD to genealogists and historians, and to cooperate with local libraries, museums and record offices in providing money to renovate old books in their collection, and to donate books to their collections, where they will be preserved for future generations.

Republicans in the Florida House are trying to come up with a plan for the uninsured, something they believe would be better than expanding Medicaid.
But flirting with other options could jeopardize billions of federal dollars. And there are no guarantees the Legislature and Gov. Rick Scott will be able to agree on an alternative, or if it would produce better health outcomes for roughly 900,000 of the state's poorest residents.
Rep. Richard Corcoran, chairman of the House committee that voted Monday against expanding Medicaid, has pledged to come up with a solution but admits he doesn't have a plan or even a clear idea of what direction the state should go.
He likened it to the process of building a house. Right now, he is surveying the land and trying to find the right spot to lay the foundation.
"There's a ton of ideas swirling around," said Corcoran, a Trinity Republican. "It seems that I can't talk to a member or senator that doesn't have one."
For many Republican lawmakers skeptical of Medicaid expansion, Arkansas Gov. Mike Beebe's announcement over the weekend solidified their opposition. Beebe said the federal government had granted his state permission to use Medicaid expansion dollars to purchase private insurance policies for the uninsured on the health exchange.
It was a "game changer" that emboldened Corcoran and others to be innovative.
Last month, Scott came out in favor of Medicaid expansion and he has not wavered. The Florida Senate has indicated it would go along with the governor's proposal to accept federal dollars to expand Medicaid at least for the first three years when 100 percent of the costs are covered.
That puts pressure on the House to provide an alternative. But senators have started doing research, too.
"As you know this is uncharted territory, and we are still trying to understand what options are available," said Katie Betta, a spokeswoman for Senate President Don Gaetz, via email. "Most recently, we have been reviewing and trying to learn more about the reported flexibility provided to states like Indiana and Arkansas."
Lawmakers are both intrigued and a bit worried about the flexibility granted to Arkansas. Policies on health exchanges cost more than Medicaid ââ¢
â an average of $9,000 compared to $6,000 ââ¢
â and the costs both to the state and federal government for the Arkansas plan could inflate current estimates. Arkansas hasn't finalized its proposal, which requires approval from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Indiana lawmakers have said they won't expand Medicaid unless the federal government allows them to use their own health savings account-based "Healthy Indiana Plan." In Iowa, Gov. Terry Branstad has floated the idea of beefing up the state's low-benefit safety net program called IowaCare.
Corcoran is open to just about anything, as long as it's not Medicaid. He believes people would be better served by obtaining insurance on the private market.
He doesn't think the potential loss of federal dollars should be the deciding factor in how Florida proceeds. If lawmakers come up with a program that is affordable in the long run and doesn't overtax existing resources he would agree to it even if that means Florida forfeits that money, he said Wednesday.
Updated state estimates are expected today, but the amount the state could receive for expanding Medicaid is more than $20â billion in the first 10 years. By comparison, the state's share would be about $3â billion.
Florida Hospital Association president Bruce Rueben has been trying to study up on the Arkansas plan so that his organization can decide whether it would support something similar in Florida. The group is lobbying in favor of Medicaid expansion because hospitals agreed to other funding cuts as a trade-off.
"By all means, take a look at it," Rueben said of the Arkansas plan. "The key is to get people covered. We have a window of opportunity for three years in which 100 percent of the financing for this extended coverage will come from federal tax dollars."
¢ ââ¢
¢ ââ¢
Florida lawmakers have no timeline for when to have new recommendations in place. The 60-day legislative session began Tuesday, but if they don't meet that deadline there is the possibility of a special session.
Even if Republicans, who control both chambers, reach an agreement, there are no guarantees Scott will come along. In an exclusive interview with the Times/Herald Wednesday, the governor did not say whether he would support any alternatives to Medicaid expansion in light of the strong opposition in the House.
"We're having a conversation. I was clear about what I will do," Scott said. "It's going to go through a process and this is just the beginning."
When asked about the Arkansas plan specifically, he refused to bite. "We'll see what they come out with," Scott said.
There is also a chance the House ultimately embraces Scott's Medicaid expansion proposal. Speaking to the Florida Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday, Chief Financial Officer Jeff Atwater said Florida and other states may eventually agree to some form of Medicaid expansion.
Atwater, who has criticized Scott's expansion proposal, said that the state was in a "really tough spot." Growing Medicaid will bring additional costs, but not accepting the federal money could have steep consequences as well because of the hospital cuts, he said.
"I believe they're going to pass (on the expansion) ââ¢
â that's my take," he said. "And then I think, as the stresses begin to fall like, again, (Low Income Pool money for safety nets) being diminished, this is going to cause great stress to that choice. And, I don't know, the inevitable, it may be, no matter what people think, happens."

Cuba Lifts Cell Phone Ban
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Cell Phones
Not only is Cuba now allowing its people to purchase computers and appliances, they will have unlimited, unrestricted use of cell phones. ETECSA should be giving the little people full mobile service sometime this week. Previously, residents had to use other names or workplace to be able to have access. Since it must be paid with foreign currency, it is believed that this will still restrict use by Cubans with big bucks. Still, it is a start since there are limits on foreign travel and Internet access for now.
